I thank the Minister for that. It is very good. Out of respect for all my fellow colleagues in the other House in the Dáil, I still believe it would be best practice if Deputies were also able to hear this debate and draft versions of what that should look like. The Minister has the prerogative of still introducing amendments but nobody else in the Dáil does. I am thankful to the Minister. I still regret the process somewhat because it is not ideal to have only one possible source of amendments going into a full half of the legislative process. I thank the Minister for that, however, and I believe it will prove to be a wise decision in the future.
